Media Supply Positions
There are four sets of slots and threaded holes in the printer’s center 
section for the media supply roll post or rotating hub (optional). 
These slots allow the largest possible roll size to fit, given the 
limitations of any liner takeup unit and/or the full enclosure provided 
by the long side door or Megatop. The positions are indicated by 
numbers engraved in the center section.
• Position 1 is used when the media compartment is fully enclosed 
by a long side door, regardless of the existence of any integral liner 
takeup unit. Maximum roll size is 152 mm (6 inches).
• Position 2 is used when the printer has a short side door that only 
encloses the print mechanism, but does not have an integral liner 
takeup unit. Maximum roll size is 213 mm (8.38 inches). 
•   Position 3 is used when the printer has a short side door and an 
integral liner takeup unit. This position is also used with the 
optional 8-inch Megatop, see Chapter 10, “Options.” Maximum 
roll size is 213 mm (8.38 inches).
•   Position 4 is reserved for possible future development.
The printer can also use an external media supply located behind the 
printer, unless it has an optional 8-inch Megatop.
